Capo: 3.
I really loved this song from the first time I heard it. At first, it may sound difficult with chord voicing and movement, but you'll get the hang of it. Hope it works out for you. Keep jazz alive. Be Good (Lion's Song)-Gregory Porter Tabbed by:Andrew Welch E-mail:welch05@mc.edu Key:Bb Capo:3rd fret IMPORTANT: I usually play this song with a the Capo on the 3rd. If you choose to do that, you must play the chords in G formation. i.e., the "Bb" becoming a "G". There is a legend at the bottom of the page for those transpositions. thanks! Verse:
BbBe good is heF/Ar name And I singGm my lion's song anFd brush my mane Bb BbShe would and she could F/A Gm F Eb Dm7So sGsushe puGlled my lion's tail and caused me pain
Chorus:
She said lion'Gm7s are made F#dimfor cages Just to lookF at in delight Edim You dare not lGm7et 'em walk arounF#dimd 'cause they Fmight just bite Eb
BbDoes she know what she does when F/A she daGmnces 'round my cage and sFays her name? Bb BbBe goF/Aod.. BGme goFod Bb
You'll notice the upright carrying the rhythm and walking up continuously from the F back to the Bb. Here's a quick tab for that: (relative to capo 3) Bb F/A Gm7 F Bb F#dim F Edim Eb e|------------------------0--------------------------------------------------------| B|-0------3-------3-------3---------3--------7--------7----5--------0-----------------| G|-0------2-------0-------2---------0--------x--------7----x--------0----------------- D|-0------0-------2-------0---------0------- 7--------7----5--------2-----------------| A|-2------x-------2-----------------2--------6--------5----4--------3------------------| E|-3------2-------0------------0-2--3----------------------------------------------| On the Gm7 for the Chorus, I start with a different variation of Gm7: (You'll notice why) Gm7 ----------- ---11------ ---10------ ---x------ ---10-------- ------------ The rest of the song quite simply repeats what's tabbed above. The solo under the sax may deviate slightly, but it shouldn't be too difficult to figure out. If there are any questions, please email me!
